Need help finding a charger.

[SJClouds]

Hey I'm pretty new to batteries and haven't have any experience with them. I just upgraded from a iStick to a sigelei 50w and have 2 of the samsung 18650 batteries. I'm looking for a charger for the batteries cause I don't want to keep using a usb to charge and since I have two, I don't want to wait for one to finish charging and then charge the other one. I'm wondering if the nitecore d2 charger will be good as a charger? Or what is the best charger for the two batteries?

i have the D2 and it will not charge any of my batteries over 4.15 and it's brand new, i would stay away from it.

here are a couple of decent reasonably priced 2 bay smart chargers, chargers/batteries are something you do not want to skimp on.
Efest LUC Multi-function Smart charger - 101 Vape
Xtar VC2 - RTD vapor


now if ya want to spend a bit more, you can look at this one
Xtar VP2 - RTD vapor

happy hunting!

Xtar VP1, VP2 or VP4 - all with a 2 year warranty when purchased from an authorized dealer like RTD Vapor or right from xtardirect.com

If you can get a NiteCore to last 6 months consider yourself lucky. And now the reports of eFest chargers falling apart and failing in short order are starting to come in as well.

How about this one? It's the Xtar VC2.

Edit: Oops sorry didn't see you already put it there. Nice I'm going to get the VC2.

if it were me i'd buy it from RTD, great Vendor that stands behind their products and usually quick shipping; and the warranty like Rickajho said....and they have the wall adapter also listed at the bottom of the product description for like 4-bucks

i can see it now when you get down the road and you start to notice all the mods and batteries you have laying around you'll wish you bought a 4 bay or two.
when shini-itis strikes there is nothing you can do but dig out the credit/debit card and feed the hunger hehe.
been vaping a bit over a yr now and my collection is insane yet i'm happy....

Get the Xtar VP2 instead, it has 1amp charge rate, thus will fully charge the battery in half the time than VC2 model at 500mah. 4 hours vs 2 hours.

I have a gift card for amazon so that's why I got it from there but if I need a new one I'll definitely check out RTD.

Damn well it's too late cause I got it from amazon and I have the free 2 day shipping and it's already shipped. Is it really that slow? will it be like how it is charging in my box mod? It takes about 4 hours to charge in my box mod and it's annoying as hell. I hope it's not like that.

Yeah the VC2 and your mod both do 500mah charging.

 

[KGB7]

At 500mah, its +4 hours to fully charge a drained battery.


Cancel the order if you still have the time, or return it and get a VP2.
